offering Smith a contract would have been retarded. By offering a restricted free agent a contract it ties up our cap space until the other team matches. If we did this another team could swoop in and offering monta or Beans a contract like the clips (before camby trade) or memphis. The hawks would most likely just match the offer and we would be stuck with having to match monta or beans an offer without having used all our cap space first on players like mags and turiaf because we wouldn't have enough time to sign anyone before we had to match the offers. Also, by not offering Smith a contract his negotiations with Atlanta have made him frustrated, making it more likely for a sign and trade scenario.

Thanks E-man. I have had Photoshop on my home computer for 2 years and have never even launched the application before. Yesterday I decided it was time to change that. I had no freakin clue at what I was doing but it was fun trying. Obviously I did not do anything fancy.
